Greene and Broillet Will Hold Press Conference to Announce Product Liability Lawsuit

The family of a 7-year old girl, along with her attorneys Browne Greene and Geoff Wells, will hold a press conference on Tuesday, December 28, 2004 at 10:00 AM at the Firm's offices, 100 Wilshire Boulevard, 21st Floor, Santa Monica, CA.

At that time, they will announce the filing of a product liability lawsuit against a leading pharmaceutical company which makes and distributes a popular over-the-counter brand of ibuprofen for children. The lawsuit will allege that the drug maker's failure to warn the public about the possible risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome makes this children's product unsafe and dangerous to sell to customers.

A little girl, then age-6, came home from school complaining of a fever. Her parents gave her a popular over-the-counter brand of ibuprofen for children, which carried no warning labels of the possible risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, a severe, adverse skin reaction. As a result of taking this medicine, the child (through her parents as guardian ad litem) will allege that she suffered from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and is now blind and suffers serious, ongoing
medical problems as a consequence.
